Am I missing something with Dragons Dogma 1 or is there no way to advance time other than resting at one of the three inns I've found that are all five minutes (or less) walk away from each other?

Play Last Epoch instead. Although if you have Game Pass, then you might as well check out Diablo IV.

of all the stuff in dd2, being able to camp outside is probably the one thing thats unreservedly an improvement over dd1. because dd1 is very much, just the one town and a couple of outposts and everything takes a travel day to get to

On the other hand it DID force you to actually interact with night time, while in DD2 campfires are all over the place so you never really have to deal with that stuff if you don't want to unless a random night attack happens (extremely rare in my experience).

The actual campaign is good stuff and that you should definitely stop when you beat it because that's when the real treadmill kicks off.

Content Warning is a metric ton of fun that's currently free for the next few hours. In a similar vein to Lethal Company, you and 3 friends venture into haunted catacombs to record footage of spooky phenomena, usually with tragic results. That's okay though, because those horrific deaths are what garner the most views!

The footage you record even gets spat out as .webm videos!

I've had plenty of adventures where I was badly hosed up in the middle of nowhere and couldn't find a camp and just had to make due. It could probably stand to have maybe 30% fewer camps though, there's a couple places in particular that they're within sight of each other. also a few more time limited quests although, the way camping interacts with the unmoored world, is conceptually very cool even if it doesn't do a whole lot with it

the dark secret of both DDs though is, night time isn't that bad. it's dark and you can't see poo poo but both games are fairly easy also. I never gave a poo poo about night in DD1, and DD2 I mostly camped just because ghosts are annoying

I don't really care about enemies at night it's just impossible to explore anywhere at night because you can't see poo poo and I like exploring.

There's way too many loving dire wolves though.

I'm still collecting my feelings about DD2 and they're definitely, mostly positive and have enjoyed every bit of the 100 hours I've put into it, but also can't help but be a little disappointed because it is not an unquantifiably better game than 1. I'm considering doing a quickie ng+ run to gently caress around with it a bit more but I think I'd be equally satisfied doing another run of DD1

moment to moment it's vastly improved and the combat is, still continuing to surprise and amaze me. but DD1 I love for the feeling of adventuring and weird rear end quest design and esoteric scenario and DD2 is a game that is mostly, quantity over quality in every regard. everything's just bigger scale but with about the same amount of Stuff. the maps multiple times larger than DD1's but, it also has about as many interesting locations just further apart, and also the same amount of monster variety as the game that's four times shorter. there are some good quests and they have some crazy contingency design where a lot of my quests just, do not resemble how other people describe them but also just proportionally a lot of them are kinda nothing. also massively expanded scope in how they expect you to interact with NPCs but, none of them really have poo poo to say or react to what's currently happening. I think I'd rather them, just make another game at DD1 scale

and the endgame is insanely cool in a way that expands from DD1's, but also, it's about as much or slightly less content than the everfall just blown out to cover the entire map so you have to travel more to see it (but traveling is, somewhat interestingly built into the design of it)

final snailscore... 85.6%. but sadly DDDA is solidly 87.4ish, perhaps even 88. will revise score when dlc comes out

i think what's disappointing about DD2 is that it's achingly short of being a great game. if they'd squashed vermund by, like, 15% and put their resource budget towards adding more monster variety and squeezing in a large dungeon or two, then you'd have a genuine GotY experience, but it's running on fumes for a lot of the back half

it's at least something that can be theoretically fixed with some DLC so while i'm not holding my breath, the possibility's at least there

i wouldn't call it good but it's not bad. it looks nice and if you have fond memories of D2 you'll enjoy some moments a lot. but it's kind of boring once you stop being impressed by the production values. i played it on release so maybe they made it more interesting now, idk.

Decided to try No More Heroes III, and this series apparently loving rules?
I've only seen Killer7 which wasn't for me and played... what was it called... Let it Die? Which was a little too wacky for me, but NMH actually doesn't half-rear end its wackiness and every time you feel comfortable it throws some new cutscene direction or a weird thing at you. It's certainly not for everyone, and gameplay doesn't reach heights of other similar games, but it's just so wild that I think I enjoy it more than any character action game I've played save for Bayo 1 (granted, mainly because I'm bad at them)

The final boss of NMH2 can eat poo poo, one of the worst I've ever had to slog through. It's a constant battle with the camera 2/3rds of the time and iirc, it was (is?) actually bugged.

Planning on it! I'm usually the type of person to start from the beginning of the series (hell, I've played Dragon Quest I and no matter how bad it felt it was interesting to see the evolution), but it kinda fits with the tone that I know nothing about anything.

I don't think there's a single generic PC troubleshooting thread (there's an entire other forum for that) but any game thread for a PC title is usually willing to handle that sort of question

But then I'd be OP and I'd have the nagging of needing a good OP despite knowing I can :justpost: (and also that I'm too paranoid to post external programs as solutions despite all evidence that they are safe).

Yeah but I noticed there's not for common Game issues Deal is I'm having troubles with STRANGER OF PARADISE: FINAL FANTASY ORIGIN and the FF thread seems to not have much experience, but given it seems similar to an issue I also had with the Wo Long demo I could ask in that thread.

Yeah I bought NMH3 first but decided to go through the first two before jumping into it. NMH1 was so good and I breezed through the last half of the game.

I figured out that Chained Echoes can run in my old laptop while I'm in Miami so finally putting in the time that game deserves. What a killer JRPG experience.
